The Crambe Abyssinica plant originated in eastern Africa in the Ethiopian Highlands (“Abyssinia”). However, recently it is also cultivated in the Mediterranean region in southern Europe as a spring crop too. Our organically crafted Abyssinian Hair & Body Oil is Cold-Pressed here in Canada from the seeds of the Crambe Abyssinica crop, a multibranched annually-growing oilseed plant in the Brassicaceae family.
Abyssinian Hair & Body Oil is a light and nongreasy natural seed oil that is coveted for its high levels of cuticle-smoothing Erucic Acid (an unsaturated C22 fatty acid). Abyssinian Hair & Body Oil is also rich in Antioxidants and Vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C and E), proteins and minerals which all promote healthier hair and skin. It is an incredibly stable oil due to the high amount of Omega-9 it contains and is a great emollient for dispersing nutrients into the skin when infused with herbs or essential oils.
Abyssinian Hair & Body Oil hydrates skin without leaving that oily feeling and it balances uneven skin tone and texture. Its fast absorption makes it ideal for oilier skin.

My skin is starting to get on and I’ve been looking for something to help me soothe and retain moisture in my skin. This oil is light and doesn’t leave me with that greasy feeling. I use it all over my arms and legs. I’m very active and this oil keeps my body well lubricated. My boyfriend and I love abyssinian oil!

Buying was simple. Support was good, and very similar to argan, except perhaps a bit lighter. Also cheaper!

I have oily skin and scalp. Crambe oil feels light and nourishing and isn’t too heavy.
